| schestowitz | Interesting article. The requirement of G 2/21 regarding the "technical effect to be "encompassed by the technical teaching" and to "embody the same invention" as the application as originally filed" is a necessary requirement for relying on a technical effect when formulating the objective technical problem, but not a sufficient one. My analysis is that under T 939/92 (and other decisions), the Board must | May 03 03:39 |
| schestowitz | also be convinced that the technical effect is actually achieved and that this is an independent requirement, not affected by G 2/21. | May 03 03:39 |

| schestowitz | There are 2 types of 'technical effect' which might need to be evaluated separately. One is the broad technical effect achieved by the teaching and data in the specification (e.g. showing drug X treats cancer), and then there is the specific, often narrower, technical effect relating to the problem to be solved in view of the prior art (e.g. showing drug X also has less side effects than drug Z disclosed in D1). It is this second type o | May 03 15:39 |
| schestowitz | f 'narrower' technical effect where applicants/patentees get into trouble as they did not realise they needed to show it when drafting the specification, and so there needs to be some leeway in the system for the use of post-filing data to show the second type of technical effect. It is close to impossible to define the criteria for allowing use of post-filing data to show the second type of technical effect as it all depends on the rel | May 03 15:39 |
| schestowitz | ationship of the prior art to the invention, and in some sense how predictable it was that the second type of technical effect would need to be shown. The Enlarged Board was sensible in not setting strict rules for use of post filing data, but it does of course lead to uncertainty as whether or not post filing data can be used becomes problem-specific | May 03 15:39 |

| schestowitz | Good comment from Santa. Curious whether Rose will comment on it. It brings to mind a comment in some other thread about what renowned judges (Wendell-Holmes included) have had to say about the need for wiggle room, leeway so they have room in their decisions to hold on to the interests of justice. And that in turn brings to mind the EPO determination to avoid being prescriptive in other areas, such as what "technical" means. | May 03 17:05 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes it is so, that the more prescriptive the law is, the better (I'm thinking here of the EPO's problem-solution approach, to frame the obviousness debate and stop it getting all hand-waving) but perhaps there are other areas where the opposite better serves the interests of justice, like being overly prescriptive about "conforming" the description under Art 84 EPC to a claim that is otherwise allowable. | May 03 17:05 |

| schestowitz | Hi Peter - I agree. The test of whether the Board is convinced (or put another, whether a skilled person would have serious doubts, substantiated by verifiable facts) that the technical effect is actually achieved [over the whole scope of the claim], is a separate question to that directly considered in G2/21. This is why G2/21 is not really about plausibility. | May 03 17:05 |
